Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Rix (Crossbench). It was answered on Tuesday, 10 January 2006.


Family Fund

Question
My Lords, does the Minister agree that there is a need for short breaks for every family caring for a person with disabilities, whatever the age of that person?
Answer

My Lords, I very much agree with that. The stresses and strains on families with severely disabled children must be enormous, and of course holidays and short breaks are very necessary.
